Blogging and the Media

If
someone said some decades ago “In the
future you will write and read news by using computer!’’, nobody would
understand anything about it and perhaps they would first ask ''what is computer? '' Nowadays we can see the
children who are at elematary school using computer easily. They not only play
games by using computer, but they also use facebook, twitter, blog etc as well.
More and more people started to do that things. The people who don't use these
things, learn the news later than the users.

I looked up twitter and learned
which topic is the most popular. People can write what they want and I think sometimes it is more realistic
than what is written in some newspapers. Twitter is the voice of the people but
newspapers generally skew the news and we can not learn the real news. We
can write much more things by using blogs and we can read more candid things.
Social network shows us what people thing and what they are talking about the world.
Facebook isn’t as popular as twitter now; but it was very successful in
connecting people . Most people found their friends from elementary school by
using facebook. Perhaps, after a year
twitter will not be as popular as todays. People even get in touch with the
prime minister or a famous actress by using twitter. İts boundaries is wider
than facebook. Blog users are authors generally.
They occur from much more cultured people because in order to
write something ,it is needed information
about the topic.

Mostly writers, journalists or academicians
have blogs. If someone wants to get information about them, blogs will be very
useful. Years ago, when it was snow, the newspapers couldn’t be sent Eastern Anatolia.
Today, there are blogs and internet. People don’t need to buy newspapers. Some academicians
write that this is the last century for books and newspapers. E-books and blogs,
will completely take place in the future
and not to use much paper will be
very productive for saving trees.

In conclusion what I am trying to say is
that, while we are watching television we don’t leave our mobile phones aside. We
can get the news from internet at the same time… We don’t buy newspapers like
at the old times but we follow the newspaper columnists from twitter. At the
same time we read their articles from computer. We prefer to read blogs instead
of buying magazines. Time is changing
and I don’t know whether it will be good
or bad for our future; but sometimes I
feel fear for the future.. How will be
our children? How will they live in a completely electronic world? Reading
mails, watching YouTube, chatting friends in facebook and twitter, reading
someones blog, takes a great time of the
people of postmodern world. In last century, there were only boks and newspapers. Next decades will be very different .
